That's fishy. I've never seen that Cayenne in Trivandrum. AFAIK there are two new-gen white Cayennes in Tvm. One wears a KL-1 four digit registration and the other a PY three digit regn. I've never seen this car on the road.

Here is a screenshot of the MVD site stating the number BL-7 is of an Audi.

Spotted this very same Cayenne with a different, but similar registration yesterday at EKM, now its with BK-7, being driven by a lady, making a not so bad traffic block in the service road, in front of Holiday Inn.

With the 33% CBU taxes, Porsche is going to have a very tough time in Kerala. Similarly, Range Rovers, Jaguar XJ, Audi A8 and the Land Cruiser twins are also going to find not many takers from now on. But the biggest threat would be to Volvo, which is a totally CBU brand, but operating in a segment with much lower price elasticity than Porsche.

Taxes were always increasing and so were the count of luxury cars in our place. I dont think the increase in tax would bring down the sale of JLR or Porsche. Volvos were never selling in big numbers so they dont need to worry!

Is that M3 a new addition to the state? Don't recall seeing it here before.

There are 2 MH reg BMW coupes in cochin. One is the actors E46 M3, and the second is the black E36 coupe. It is Not an M3, but a smaller engined car, with an M badge. I think its a a recent entry to the state.
